Now, you are not jolly enough. You are in the habit of carrying these hells and demons around with you, and if you do not watch it you will see them even in the faces of the flowers. These abilities are abilities that are your own. They are a part of the heritage of your consciousness. Use them in peace and joy. The spirit that is you forms your image. It is a live and vital part of your being. Now, I did not come through this evening for a long lecture but it behooved me to make a few comments to our friend (Stan) over here. Peace to you and forget your demons. If you believe in them you are letting yourself in for difficulties.

You do. They are in the back of your mind and what you said earlier this evening was a rationalization, for you have hidden your own fears from yourself. I say this now, not in a critical fashion, but so that you understand you are projecting outward that which you fear in yourself and others.

(To Stan.) The misunderstand[ing] was not between us. It is that the conscious mind does not understand the unconscious mind and that your conscious mind does not understand that it is frightened of demons and believes in their existence. His mind does not believe in demons, your unconscious mind does. You are not in touch with your own inner beliefs in that respect. Intellectually you have no use for those beliefs but emotionally they are still a part of you.
